Which section gives you the greatest thrill, both watching and/or driving on a sim, and why?

I'd vote for Brazil, the feeling you get on flat out, flowing, uphill climb is so exhilarating, it's like you can actually feel the car's awesome grunt underneath you. Not to mention, you're inches away from ramming headfirst into the pit entry wall.

after St Devote for the close weaving walls & bumpy road, Maggots - Becketts because of the direction change, Back straight in Sepang because of the braking zone and the entrance to the straight, and the Casino straight in Canada because it provides so many good overtakes and duels and leads onto the final chicane

For me definitely La Source through Eau Rouge. Onboards through that section are just breathtaking, even moreso since we have seen a couple of overtakes in that section as well over the last couple of years.

Sigh. There will always be a few things I'd miss. I could add them, but the existing poll results would get wiped, and it already got wiped once when I added Valencia.

PS : No love for Catalunya?

catalunya is fairy cakes , it is what it is

A straight line, even if it is wavy, is not necessarily spectacular. I would consider Turn 3 from that circuit, that's great, I remember walking around the circuit and hearing the cars gearing up while negotiating that turn, it was the V10 era then and it sounded like hell.

I don't know if they get to full throttle, but I really liked turn 2 onwards in Austin last year. Alternatively, Eau Rouge and Radillion in reverse! There was an onboard vid that Bruno took on his phone whilst doing this at a demo, it's a lot scarier when you're ploughing down towards Radillion and instead of the grass run off there's a wall there!

Among the ones i choose, Stavelot to Bus Stop chicane, through the twin Blanchimont left handers, Spa was my favourite. Not my favourite in the technical category by any means, but the length of the section and its build up provides a wonderfully long period of max revs till the point that you think that the engine will blow. Always search on board footage of this section if i want to listen to a particular cars engine.

I have to admit though that the last section of the Valencia street circuit is brilliant with cars running really close to the walls on both sides as it twists. This is followed by a heavy breaking zone taken whilst having to turn right and preparing to go left.
